Everyone knows that one of the best things about going to a wedding is the wedding photo booth. Sure, there's also the free booze and the delicious food, the dancing, being able to wear a pretty dress and look fabulous... oh yeah, and of course, watching two people you love celebrate their awesome love, which is obviously the whole point. But still — the photo booth is up there.

There is something that's just so much more fun about photos when they're taken in quick succession with some added props and maybe a cool background.

In fact, making your own photo booth will probably result in even better pictures because it will be totally unique.
